We present two infinite families of APN functions where the degree of the field is divisible by 3 but not 9. Our families contain two already known families as special cases. We also discuss the inequivalence proof (by computation) which…

In this paper we study general conditions to prove the infiniteness of the genus of certain towers of function fields over a perfect field. We show that many known examples of towers with infinite genus are particular cases of these…

We construct compact descriptions of function fields and number fields.

Given a field with a set of discrete valuations $V$, we show how the genus of a division algebra over the field is related to the genus of the residue algebras at various valuations in $V$ and the ramification data. When the division…

Generators of the algebra of first class functions in a system with second class constraints are found. It is shown that first class functions form algebras with respect to the Dirac bracket and pointwise multiplication.The subspace of…

In this short note we construct a spectral, non-tiling set of size $2p$ in $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^4$, $p$ odd prime. This example complements a previous counterexample in [arXiv:1509.01090], which existed only for $p \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$.…

In this paper we classify the isomorphism classes of four dimensional nilpotent associative algebras over a field F, studying regular subgroups of the affine group AGL_4(F). In particular we provide explicit representatives for such classes…

Using factorization properties, we give several characterizations for an algebraic number ring to have class number 2.

This is a partial derivative of \cite{MR94g:17044}. We give a list of examples/problems that some will find amusing.

In this paper we give an elementary proof of results on the structure of 4-class groups of real quadratic number fields originally due to A. Scholz. In a second (and independent) section we strengthen C. Maire's result that the 2-class…

The size function for a number field is an analogue of the dimension of the Riemann-Roch spaces of divisors on an algebraic curve. It was conjectured to attain its maximum at the trivial class of Arakelov divisors. This conjecture was…

This paper is a contribution to the description of some congruences on the odd prime factors of the class number of the number fields. An example of results obtained is: Let L/Q be a finite Galois solvable extension with [L:Q]=N, where N >…

In 1801, Gauss proved that there were infinitely many quadratic fields with odd class number. We generalise this result by showing that there are infinitely many $S_n$-fields of any given even degree and signature that have odd class…

We present an infinite family of quadratic APN functions on a finite field of dimension over GF(2) divisible by 3.

We introduce a number field analogue of the Mertens conjecture and demonstrate its falsity for all but finitely many number fields of any given degree. We establish the existence of a logarithmic limiting distribution for the analogous…

It is known that infinitely many number fields and function fields of any degree $m$ have class number divisible by a given integer $n$. However, significantly less is known about the indivisibility of class numbers of such fields. While…

In this short note we give counterexamples to several results related to extension theorems published recently.

We prove that function fields of varieties of dimension at least two over an algebraic closure of a finite field are determined, modulo purely inseparable extensions, by the quotient by the second term in the lower central series of their…

In this paper we are interested in the class numbers of a family of real quadratic fields for which the square roots of the discriminants have a known expansion in continued fraction. In particular we prove that $h(D)>1$, with possibly a…

We construct an entire function $f$ with only three singular values whose order of growth can change under a quasiconformal equivalence. This is a counterexample to the Order Conjecture in the Speiser class ${\mathcal S}$ of entire…
